To repeat, everyone can have an opinion. But, recognizing the role of the USSR in the war (my grandfather, by the way, not only all this war has passed, but the previous Finnish), I believe unfairly suppress the role of other countries. And lend-lease, which is remembered by many, confronted him, and sometimes still enjoy its fruits. This is not a joke. One of my friends came from Arkhangelsk. Where it is located exactly what he said, I do not know, but he had seen it himself repeatedly, all childhood. By the sea is a mountain of chocolate landed on lend-lease. Take it no one has picked up - the German air force bombed and then apparently forgot about him. But the people, after the war, found. By the time the mountain overgrown with ice. A dozen years ago, local men went to this hill drinking. Snacks with you did not take, but the crowbar. Dig deeper permafrost, dokovyryayutsya to chocolate, pinned - and snack. Jokes - gag, but many non-Russian sailors found their grave at the bottom of the ocean, trying to deliver a belligerent Soviet Union the very famous American stew and more. And by "western" aircraft our pilots fought. There were many rumors about that, they say, their cars were much worse than ours, but find fault that you be given in a moment of emergency - a sign of lack of self-esteem.
Yes, to the United States did not enter the occupant leg, as in England, by the way, but England suffered a lot from German bombing raids. With regard to Europe, many of them were under the heel of the third Reich, and they acted Resistance. I repeat: the death of a person, especially a hero who died for his country, or tortured, no matter where it happened, in the Russian village or camp in Europe, died a soldier on the battlefield or at Tikhvin was tortured by the Gestapo soprotivlenets French in Paris - it is always death . And the fight - always a struggle. Assume that "we - the minds, and you - alas," for myself I thought it would be not only disrespectful to the memory of ALL the fallen, but the lack of self-esteem. Those who do not appreciate other people's sacrifices, hardly able to truly appreciate and the.
Here we imagine that in a street fight involved group. Someone started earlier beat more opponents got more scratches and knocks. Someone came up later, but the enemy overpowered together. And yet - not without wounds. And who was the first to say to the others that I was fighting, and you so attached themselves, shelupon. That such a man say? What would you say about him? Of course, it is insulting and horrible, when ordinary people in the West do not know about the role of the USSR in the Second World War, which is why it is an epic of absurdist under the name "The Unknown War". Terrible. So why repeat their mistake? They are bad, not knowing about us and not recognizing us, and we - the good? We - the same, if we behave the same way.
